Attached are the procedures for 2011-2014 turbo. Alot of its the same except the waste gate. Double check make sure you got all of the steps done. Then rock it forward and twist it about 20 degrees to pull it out of its hole.

 

Here are some videos on youtube

thanks for the tips.

Managed to remove it even though it took all day.

BUT, also managed to drop a socket into the opening below the turbo, am just off to buy a magnetic borescope to try and retrieve.

any tips on how to solve this please? of course I won't try to start engine until I find the socket, what are my options if its rolled out of reach?

 

cannot find the socket, I think it fell into the manifold below the turbo (see picture)

is this terminal for the engine? it is a 4 MM extended 1/4 inch socket

I'm guessing it will either fall into the engine and cause damage, or be sucked into the turbo and cause damage

I hope someone can help shed some light or help find solution

thanks

 

That's miserable. Maybe you need one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RUSWGMA?psc=1

 

just asked this question to a guy that works for ford and post videos of the 6.7 rebuilds and stuff. Looking at diagrams it appears it would end up in the upper or lower oil pan. Ill let you know as soon as he responds with advice. I'll keep digging in my books as well.

Maybe KAYA will chime in.

 

that would be great, am keeping fingers crossed.

thanks

 

He just responded. He has a core sitting in his bay, He will look at it in the morning and respond back and let me know. Hope you can wait a few more hours.

 

sure can, appreciate the help

thanks

 

sorry for the delay. Below is what he said. Hope it helps a little.

"Well I had a chance to look at the core today. I used my boroscope and there are a few ledges in there but it pretty much "waterfalls" straight to the upper oil pan. I dropped a few ball bearings in there and one got caught about midway and one fell all the way to the upper oil pan. Is this fellow a gambling man? Does he win a lot of scratch off tickets? If so he can let it ride. lol What are the options? Drain the oil and see if it comes out, remove the lower oil pan and see if it can be seen, remove the upper oil pan and hope it's there (this is a tough job in chassis but can be done...super messy), shine a light in the oil drain cavity (under turbo) and see if the light makes it down to the crank area and hope the socket is accessible by now. If the socket made it to the lower oil pan then it can ride around in there forever and may drain out on an oil change. If the socket is sitting on the upper oil pan it may be ok also as this is a deep skirt "Y" block design and the crank is tucked way up in the block. If the socket is sitting on a ledge midway in the engine it may stay there forever and never present a problem. Lots of "if's" in this situation." -FLMMAZ

 

That sucks so bad.

 

thank you so much MWE_060, I am going to try a few flexible magnets, if no luck will from the oil pan, if no luck may just take a chance and leave it there

will post results here

thanks to all again
